Mama's Bible
A friend sent this to me and I just have to share it!
Four brothers left home for college, and they became successful doctors andlawyers and prospered.Some years later, they chatted after having dinner together. They discussedthe gifts they were able to give their elderly mother who lived far away inanother city.The first said, "I had a big house built for Mama."The second said," I had a hundred thousand dollar theater built in thehouse."The third said, "I had my Mercedes dealer deliver an SL600 to her."The fourth said, "You know how Mamma loved reading the Bible and you knowshe can't read anymore because she can't see very well. I met this preacherwho told me about a parrot that can recite the entire Bible. It took twentypreachers 12 years to teach him. I had to pledge to contribute $100,000 ayear for twenty years to the church, but it was worth it. Mamma just has toname the chapter and verse and the parrot will recite it."The other brothers were impressed.After the holidays Mom sent out her Thank You notes.She wrote:"Milton, the house you built is so huge I live in only one room, but I haveto clean the whole house. Thanks anyway.""Marvin, I am too old to travel. I stay home, I have my groceries delivered,so I never use the Mercedes. The thought was good. Thanks.""Michael, you gave me an expensive theater with Dolby sound, it could hold50 people, but all of my friends are dead, I've lost my hearing and I'mnearly blind. I'll never use it. Thank you for the gesture just the same.""Dearest Melvin, you were the only son to have the good sense to give alittle thought to your gift. The "chicken" was delicious. Thank you."Luv Ya, Mama
